"However, my perception changed when I began using the latest iPad Mini 7. I've always loved a big display on a tablet, but I underestimated just how convenient a compact iPad would be in my daily life. I've taken the iPad Mini 7 everywhere the past month, able to slip the 8.3-inch device into my purse without it weighing down -- or sticking out of -- my bag."
"Unfortunately, that's where the iPad Mini 7 hits its limits: entertainment. This small tablet isn't a power user's dream or a remote worker's take-anywhere solution. Truthfully, it's easier to work on my cheaper than on the $500 iPad Mini 7, so it's hard to justify the price for a tablet that's mostly good for playing games and consuming media. The iPad 10th Generation's larger screen gives me more real estate to edit photos and videos, and there are many reputable keyboard options for writing and editing documents."
Long-term use shows the iPad Mini 7's 8.3-inch size makes it highly portable, easily fitting into a purse without adding weight or bulk. The A17 Pro chip brings performance and compatibility with Apple Intelligence. The device excels at games and media consumption and is convenient for extended idle situations, such as long medical infusions. The Mini 7 struggles as a primary productivity machine for power users or remote work. The iPad 10th Generation provides more screen real estate for editing and better keyboard options, but it does not support Apple Intelligence features.
